Strictly Pleasure

Part 11

Heidi remained very still after Jek's words registered. He was testing her. The longer she didn't react, the broader his smirk grew. Conflicted feelings roiled within her as she tried to decide on the best course of action. He was definitely goading her to kiss him, but was that from true interest or from wanting to get some action? Even if they only kissed, that was better than talking. Though that wouldn't guarantee he wouldn't try to coax her to do more, not that Jek would do anything like that.

Did any of that matter?

She liked him and she wanted to kiss him. Hell, she might even want more. And by the gods, she wanted to wipe that knowing grin off his lips. Focusing on that thought, Heidi realized there was a darker coloration tinging Jek's pointed ears and his cheeks.

Maybe she had affected him more than she realized.

"That's what I th-" Before Jek could finish his conceited jab, Heidi surprised him by moving forward. Her hand braced on his chest as she leaned over him, her knee pressed against the juncture of his legs. It was only when her smile curved with further delight that he realized his eyes were wide, his cheeks warm.

The cut off taunt and his expression growing further shocked sent a little jolt of satisfaction through Heidi as she leaned down. Her eyes fluttered shut just before her lips met his.

All at once, the heat of the evening hit a high and washed over the two as Heidi deepened the kiss, vaulting over the brief moment of chasteness. All previous thought washed away in the tide of pleasure. The heat of her mouth parting for him, the curl of her tongue against his, made a deep sound vibrate through Jek's chest as he met her kiss eagerly. A little sound deliciously escaped her lips as his right hand splayed against her back, pulling her bodily closer to him.

Without much thought passing from his brain and his left hand, Jek pulled on the futon's back and unlatched the mechanism. The folded up end of the futon fell flat and his body continued moving without input. Flipping their positions, Heidi faintly registered her back hitting the futon as Jek's body pressed against her, but she was too intent on continuing the kiss.

Her arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer as her knee propped up between his legs, nudging her thigh against his groin. Heat razed down Jek's back as his hips involuntarily ground against her leg, against the friction. Heidi's other leg curled around one of his legs, rolling her hips against him, seeking his firmness pressed against her. Inside her, a need to feel Jek against her, weighing down on her, crushed against her, burned hot.

It was Jek who broke the kiss, coming up for air and inviting sense to return to his thoughts. "I should stop."

Not we should stop, Heidi noticed. He should stop. Heidi blinked her eyes open, her eyebrows furrowing with confusion. "What do you mean?"

"You said you were still buzzed." Jek brushed hair that had fallen into her face back, behind her ear. "I shouldn't have let it get this far, honestly."

Heidi's lips scrunched to one side, her nose wrinkling as she retorted, "You drank more than me."

"I have a higher tolerance than you." Once again, he flipped their positions, lowering himself to the futon as he gently tugged Heidi on top of him.

"It's not like I'm sloshed!" Conflicting feelings made Heidi's cheeks burned as she struggled to untangle a new knot of thoughts. She'd only had one hard soda! Even if she didn't drink much, a hard soda definitely wasn't enough to make her feel blitzed. She could still make decisions that she wouldn't regret.

But a small part of her knew Jek didn't know that. Just like she didn't know him very well, he could exactly gauge her capabilities. Still, Heidi didn't want to let the moment go. She wasn't sure if she'd get another chance or if she'd ever feel quite so confident around him again.
